:
The major impact of the physiological changes that occur with aging is:
Student Reduced physiological reserve
Answer:

Explanation: with three primary points. First, there is a reduced physiological reserve of
most body systems, particularly cardiac, respiratory, and renal. Second,
there are reduced homeostatic mechanisms that fail to adjust regulatory
systems such as temperature control and fluid and electrolyte balance.
Third, there is impaired immunological function: infection risk is greater,
and autoimmune diseases are more prevalent. (Kennedy-Malone 3)
